Remove bumperettes- how?

Hey guys, are the front bumperettes on an 01 turbo removeable/replaceable without having to order a whole new bumper?

Are they any DIY guides or instructions, and replacement caps?

Thanks alo!

They are removable, but they leave a good size hole.

With all the after market front bumpers added, the original bumpers are readly available at almost giveaway prices. Place a wanted ad ..... you will be surprised at the response. It takes less than an hour to remove and replace a bumper.

I had an 01 and removed them but it was a big deal, the holes are large. CJV is correct, it will be cheaper and the results far better if you replace the bumper. I don't remember but I think you have to change the grills as well.
